@iamluisolivas02 Closing in her honor? Would your grandma want her beloved gym to close just because she died?

Just learned that the all-women’s gym that my grandma went to 6 days a week for the last 19 years is closing in her honor on the day of her memorial service since she died last week at 102 years old. When I had called them to let them know she had died there were gasps of dismay on the other end of the line. It was one of my grandma’s most sacred spaces and a place she had community and love around her. Plus, I think she loved showing off her prowess with the free weights. Third spaces matter.

@roddspicer @DavidColetto Pierre lost because Carney did everything his campaign was based off of and then he had to cheat to get back into office after decades of not doing anything just to still not to anything

Yeah, Liberals love smarmy non-answers that let them revel in their false bravado. The country is not doing well, it hasn't been doing well since the liberals took over 12 years ago. Trajectory has literally only gotten worse since Carney took over. They're talking about putting an exit tax on the fucking country for students fleeing the sinking ship for shit's sake. But yeah, the boomers fucking love it because they're out of touch dipshits.

That tiny red nub sitting between the G, H, and B keys on keyboards has been quietly dividing the tech world for over 30 years. Half the people who encounter it have no idea what it does. The other half refuse to use anything else. It’s called the TrackPoint. And it was born out of a single frustrating observation. In 1984, a researcher named Ted Selker conducted a study showing that it takes a typist 0.75 seconds to shift their hand from the keyboard to the mouse and a comparable amount of time to shift back. That 1.5 seconds of lost time, multiplied across an entire workday, felt like a solvable problem. So he built something that would eliminate it entirely; a pressure-sensitive nub planted right in the middle of the keyboard, so your hands never had to leave the keys at all. IBM introduced it commercially in 1992 on the ThinkPad 700 series. The way it works is not what most people expect. It doesn’t move like a joystick. It responds to pressure. Beneath the rubber cap sit strain gauges that measure the force applied in different directions and translate it into cursor movement. The harder you press, the faster the cursor moves. There is no repositioning, no lifting your finger, no running out of space. Infinite cursor movement from a single fingertip that never moves more than a millimeter. The red color almost didn’t happen. IBM’s product safety division had reserved red exclusively for emergency power-off switches on mainframe computers. ThinkPad designer Richard Sapper got around this by calling the color IBM Magenta and when the first batch shipped, the engineers made it decidedly more crimson. A loophole dressed in plain sight. Power users programmers, analysts, executives who live on their keyboards swear by it. The reason, according to Lenovo’s chief design officer, is that your hands never leave the home row. You type and navigate simultaneously, without the constant interruption of reaching for a trackpad. Once mastered, people say it feels less like using a tool and more like an extension of thought. Most laptops abandoned it. Lenovo never did. And the people who know, know.

I let myself into the men’s bathroom. The women’s bathroom was under construction at work and I didn’t have enough time to go to another floor to find another. Nobody was in there so I slipped in. While I was in the stall I heard the door open and I yelled out “sorry, a woman is in here, hope you don’t mind!” The man said “no problem” and came in and went into a stall. A couple more men came in while I was washing my hands and I told them about the ladies room being under construction. They said no problem, and that we should just use this restroom while we’re here. I stepped out of the bathroom and saw another woman and she said “can we use the men’s room?” and I told her the men seem ok with it. It went on like that all day, all of us using the same bathroom, the men cautious not to use the urinals and the women knocking before entering. It was fine, everyone was fine.

Yeah dude the moon just so happens to spin at the exact rate so that it looks perfectly stationary to us – and then also it’s exactly 400 times smaller than the sun but the sun is 400 times further away by chance so that eclipses match up perfectly

I’m sorry, I used to think the “conspiracy theorists” were just nutters. This week I’ve decided we were conned. Hear me out. That 1969 spacecraft I watched on my black and white TV had less computing power than your wristwatch, less than some thermostatic controllers I have on my walls. This week NASA sent a $93billion spacecraft to *orbit* the moon, just orbit, in preparation for an actual moon landing in a few years time. Why on earth would it take us 57 years, and a $93b test flight, with the compute power and comms facilities we have today, if we’d already done it successfully, once before, with so little, 57 years ago. Nah, I’m now with the conspiracy theorists.

John Linneman (Digital Foundry) says his experience with Crimson Desert reminds him of Shadow of the Colossus: "Red Dead 2 was an example of a map that was super immersive and interesting from edge to edge but it was rare. Crimson Desert is definitely more like that - the sheer amount of variety and unusual things that can happen make it really enjoyable to explore. Due to how climbing works along with all your other abilities, it also gives you this feeling of being able to do 'anything'. Weirdly, the thing is reminded me of was the demo version of Shadow of the Colossus back on PS2 where people figured out you could climb the central spire. I spent a lot time doing that and it was weird and enjoyable...that's the same kind of feeling I got from playing Crimson Desert. It almost feels like the game is letting you bend the rules." resetera.com/threads/crimso…

OMG. Renee Good’s car was driven away from Minneapolis completely open to the elements, windows wide open. No bullet-trajectory testing. They rushed it out of the state before state investigators could examine it. This is a fucking criminal cover up.
